004. [Video/Action for Rocket HQ]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[There are plenty of newborn Pokemon that enter the world squalling or cooing.]

[This one entered with a whole lot of growling and then nearly took somebody's finger off.]

[The little Deino on the screen, which happens to have a faintly-sparkling green coat rather than the customary blue, is yanking and worrying at the end of one of the scarves that its trainer had received for Christmas as well as the egg it had just hatched from. It's been in the world outside its eggshell for about five minutes and it's already filled with fury at the fact that this long soft thing exists in its general vicinity.]

[Wrath is thrilled.]

[He turns to the camera (which is presumably held by his Kangaskhan) proudly, apparently unconcerned that the tiny dino-dragon is nearly tugging the scarf right off of him.]</sub>

The rock turned into a sparkling animal!

Her name is Mad.

Mad likes to bite.

_{[... A little like her trainer, actually. They also share the same hairdo aesthetic. This is clearly a match made in heaven.]}

[quickattackjack]

What a fantastic monster! And what a fitting name!

[video]

[garbagechild]

Isn't she great? Her teeth are so sharp.

_{[He's pretty pleased with the name, too. It took him a whole five seconds to come up with it.]}

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Be sure to watch your fingers! I don't believe those types of Pokemon have eyes. She might not know the difference between you and a snack just yet.

[video]

[samsa]

[Well, there is one thing that has gotten Kaneki's attention about this video, and that would be the Deino currently chewing on Wrath's scarf. He's done enough nervous research on his own to know that that is indeed probably the Pokemon he thinks it is, though it's coloring is a bit different...he still feels the need to ask.]

Is that a Deino?

[video]

[garbagechild]

Huh?

Oh, I don't know.

I just know she's Mad.

_{[Does this kid even remotely look like he's figured out how to access the Pokedex function of his 'Gear?]}

[video]

[samsa]

[WELL IT WAS WORTH A SHOT...]

Do you know what she's so mad about?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Ah, yes, Deinos tend to do that. That's how they discover new objects, and how they recognize others. Does she have a favorite biting target?

[video]

[garbagechild]

Really?

That would explain why she's biting everything.

I think the scarf must be pretty tasty, because she's biting that a lot.

_{[He looks over his shoulder, to where the little furry dinosaur is shaking the scarf around like a wild animal.]}

... Either that or she really hates it.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...It's somewhat hard to tell which possibility is applicable here.

[But his tone is uncertain, as if he does not find it that hard.]

Thankfully, she's unlikely to break a fang on a scarf. She's not choking you, is she?

[armoredsoul]

Aw, she's so cute! Just be careful what you let her bite, okay?

[Here's hoping Wrath doesn't just...immediately hang up or something.]

[garbagechild]

_{[No, he won't hang up. He does, however, give his head a sort of haughty toss. He won't ignore his enemies-- it's obvious that he CAN'T. It's a small world. But he doesn't have to be nice.]}

She's not cute, she's fierce and strong.

I bet she could beat any of yours.

_{[Yes, because a baby dinosaur ferociously wrestling a scarf is clearly going to be a battling prodigy.]}

[armoredsoul]

No one said those are mutually exclusive.

[Al lets out a soft chuckle and shakes his head. Well, Lisa was picking fights the moment she popped out of her shell, so...]

She's only level one right now, Wrath. I've been training mine for quite a while now. But I bet when you do train her she'll be really strong.

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[..Huh, so that's what happened to that trubbish.

Veronica was admittedly a little concerned herself. Kid you're going to lose a finger. Are there even doctors for humans in this world.]

Uhh...

[She is concerned for your safety but she doesn't know how to exactly express that, so yeah confused silence. Sorry, Wrath.]

[Video]

[garbagechild]

Oh!

Hi Vernicka!

Do you like my fuzzy bitelizard?

Her name is Mad.

_{[You said that in the original video, Wrath.]}

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Uhh, hey... Wrath.

[At least he remembered her name this time. hmm.]

Bitelizard...? [She gave the baby pokemon a glance. It seemed... aptly named.]

That's nice, I guess. Did she come from an egg?

video;

[ossifragant]

"Mad," huh? Cute name.

[Yes, he's serious.

Hi, Wrath. It's been a while since Greed checked in on you.]

video;

[garbagechild]

Hi, Daryus!

She's not cute, she's strong and fierce! Like me!

_{[HE IS SO PROUD OF HIS DRAGON DAUGHTER. She's already shredded the end of the scarf to tatters.]}

[action]

[evilfrenzy]

[Looks like Wrath isn't the only one in the base with a Deino out and about today! Rideaux has his own (though normally colored) Deino trotting at his side, though he looks to be watching it very carefully as they go along. It's the first time that he's allowed Deva to walk around on his own, having spent quite a while attempting to train him to not bite or attack everything in the vicinity.

Deva's actually doing fairly well...until he senses another of his kind, that is.

Without warning, the Deino begins snarling and rushes in the direction of the other Deino and her trainer.]

Wh- Deva! Get back here this instant!

[Cursing under his breath, he darts after the Dragon before he can do any real damage.

Well, this is already a trainwreck. He swears, Deva is never coming out of his Pokeball for non-battles again.]

[action]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Wrath is happily playing tug-of-war with the little Deino when she suddenly drops the scarf and 'looks' over her shoulder, nose quivering and jowls lifting to expose her fangs.]

[She's just a baby, though, so despite the menacing growl that rattles up in her throat, if Deva actually attacks her... yeah that's gonna be a one-sided fight.]

[Wrath looks up, too.]</sub>

Mad, what's wro-- whoa!

[video]

[ajustcaws]

...oh, no, she is really cute! I think you should embellish her name a little, though. It's a good start, but you could give it a little pizzazz!

[video]

[garbagechild]

Pizzazz?

_{[He's never heard that word before.]}

What's that mean?

video

[islandshore]

[...That sure is a scruffy looking kid with a very angry dragon.

Riku's lips twitch upward. He's trying so hard not to either laugh or melt at the comical cuteness of this display.]

Mad, huh? But what about when she's happy?

[It's said lightly, just a bit of a tease.]

video

[garbagechild]

_{[Wrath doesn't seem bothered at all by the teasing tone, if he picks up on it at all. His own is perfectly earnest.]}

Well, just 'cause her name's Mad doesn't mean she can't be happy!

My name's Wrath but I'm not always wrathful. Only sometimes.

video

[presentyourbadge]

[Why does this small child have what looks like a VERY POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS POKEMON?

DAD MODE PHOENIX, TO THE RESCUE.]

H-Hey, now...it might be a good idea to train her how not to bite.

video

[garbagechild]

Why?

How else will she get people to leave her alone when she doesn't want to be touched?

Biting works better than most other things.

Or that's what I'VE found, anyway.

_{[... Yeah.]}
